23rd April 2005
Added a more general "Links" processing mode to the XHTMLtoRSS XSL transformation, which forms RSS items from standard hyperlinks in paragraphs. This is a great improvement over the ultimate fallback "Basic" mode.
Testing Links mode revealed an exceptional case in the Domain-Extractor XSL where there is no trailing slash after a simple domain address. Added an xsl:choose element to test the length of the $host-length variable before taking the substring of the original URL.
